Caring for Baby's Gums     

You can start caring for baby's gums right away. But at first, the care won't involve a toothbrush and toothpaste. Instead, take these steps:

  • Get a soft, moistened washcloth or piece of gauze.
  • Gently wipe down your baby's gums at least twice a day.
  • Especially wipe your baby's gums after feedings and before bedtime.

This will wash off bacteria and prevent them from clinging to gums. Bacteria can leave behind a sticky plaque that damages infant teeth as they come in. Need to make an appointment for your baby make sure look for a friendly place for kids near you.

Don't Feed the Bacteria

Bacteria normally found in the mouth feed off sugars and starches. If you don’t brush your teeth after eating sweets and carbohydrates, plaque quickly grows on your teeth.

I Have Smooth Teeth

If your teeth don't feel smooth to the touch, it is time to brush. Run your tongue on the surface of your teeth. If they feel bumpy or rough, you have plaque on your teeth. Follow through and brush those babies, since dental plaque is made up of about 300 different kinds of bacteria, the Children’s Dental Health Center says or have any questions call your kid friendly dentist near you.

Nobody Has a Tongue like Mine

No two people have the same fingerprints and the same is true for tongues and teeth. Your tongue has its own unique tongue print that no one else has. Imagine if people collected tongue prints instead of fingerprints as a form of identification.

WHAT IS TEETHING PAIN?

When baby first teeth begin to “come in”, most feel a certain amount of discomfort as the teeth “push” their way through the gums. The swelling of the gum is the result of the pressure the tooth uses to break through the gum-line tissue. The stretching and puncturing of the gums are what cause the actual pain.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF TEETHING PAIN

As with any significant change of the body or medical condition, there are signs and symptoms to indicate the presence of teething. They are usually easy to recognize.

  • Increased drooling
  • Irritability
  • Attempting to chew on hard objects
  • Mild swelling of the small area of the gum             
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Crying during feedings
  • Low- grade fever
  • Mild diarrhea

Summer is here, and your family's schedule is topsy-turvy. That means getting your kids to eat right and maintain good oral hygiene can be a struggle. And with all this extra activity.

Keep Up That Oral Hygiene

Brushing twice a day and flossing daily is as important in the summer as it is in any other season. But with vacations, camp and lots of days spent at the pool, don't be surprised if you frequently need to remind your kids to brush and floss.

Now is a great time to buy new toothbrushes to replace the old, worn out or "germy" ones. In fact, you should stock up on extra brushes, as well as travel-sized toothpaste and floss for those summer trips and days out.

Now is the Time for Checkups

Parents tend to schedule dental checkups in August, right before class starts. But to prevent dental problems over summer, book the kids in right after school ends. This way, the kids will have a clean bill of dental health for summer. The last thing you want is a child suffering from a toothache while away on summer vacation.

Stock a Healthy Kitchen

Keep the summer from being an "acid attack" on your family's teeth by investing in healthy snacks. It's hard to limit snacking when the kids are home all day, but with the availability of fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, you can stock the fridge with healthy options. Be sure to keep the fruits and veggies clean and ready to grab. You'll feel better about snacking when the kids are reaching for blueberries and strawberries instead of candy and cookies. And swap out the sugary, acidic soft drinks with bottled water.

What is tooth decay?

Tooth decay is the destruction of the tooth structure and can affect both the enamel (the outer coating of the tooth) and the dentin layer of the tooth.

These are five ways to prevent tooth decay from occurring:

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride containing tooth paste. Brush after every meal and especially before going to bed.
  • Clean your teeth daily with dental floss.
  • Rinse daily with fluoride contain mouthwash.
  • Eat nutritious balanced meals and limit snacks. Avoid carbohydrates such as pretzels, candy and chips.
  • Also you can ask your kids dentist about dental sealants ( a plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars) to protect them from decay.
